Chapter 68: The Beginning of the Conspiracy

With a heavy heart, Lu Xianger returned home wordlessly. Lu Erniang saw that her daughter didn't seem to be very happy, so she thought that she was like this because she was tired from shopping, so she didn't care. Chaoxia didn't reveal anything to Lu Erniang, she knew very well that this matter could only be figured out by Lu Xiang'er herself.

However, the world is unpredictable. Before Lu Xiang'er had time to heal the shock after seeing Xiao Tao, there was an accident in Piaoxiang Wine Shop again. After lunch, Lu Xiang'er was thinking about whether to continue to go out or stay at home to distill soju, so as not to let herself be idle and think about Xiao Tao, and Brother Ping from Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop came to Lu's house. Brother Ping drove a carriage and said that he had come to get a few jars of fruit wine.

Originally, Lu Xiang'er didn't care, so she let Brother Ping put the fruit wine that was just right in time into the carriage. But when Brother Ping left, he took a letter to Lu Xiang'er, saying that the shopkeeper Yuan asked him to hand it over. Seeing the letter in Brother Ping'er's hand, Lu Xiang'er's heart 'chuckled'.

I remember the first time I received a letter from Yuan Musheng, it was that Piaoxiang Wine Shop was smashed. After that, there were people who maliciously caused trouble in the brewery. After that time, only if something happened to the winery, Yuan Musheng would bring a letter to Lu Xiang'er. Therefore, before reading the content of this letter, Lu Xianger understood that something had happened to the winery again.

Chaoxia, who was standing with Lu Xiang'er, also frowned, and just as she wanted to say that she was going to go to the winery in person, Lu Erniang suddenly approached. When Chaoxia reacted to Lu Erniang's approach, she had already seen the letter in Lu Xiang'er's hand.

"Xiang'er, how could Shopkeeper Yuan write to you?" This is the first time that Lu Erniang knows that Yuan Musheng wrote a letter to Lu Xiang'er, and she is very strange: "The wine shop is not very far away, why write a letter." ”

Lu Xiang'er was stunned, but she didn't expect Lu Erniang to appear here. However, her reaction was relatively fast, and she immediately turned around and smiled: "Auntie, this is not a letter, it is written in it is the business record of the winery during this time." ”

"Oh, don't make soju that afternoon." Lu Erniang was in a hurry to go out to buy meat, preparing to make some of Lu Hong's favorite sauce meat. Therefore, as soon as Lu Xiang'er explained, Lu Erniang believed it, and walked out of the door without reading the content of the letter.

Lu Xiang'er watched Lu Erniang's background disappear from sight, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Chaoxia before quickly opening the letter. According to Lu Xiang'er's previous discussion with Yuan Musheng, the letter did not explicitly say that something happened to the winery. Instead, it was simply said that a buyer wanted to buy a large amount of fruit wine, and asked Lu Xianger to go to the winery to discuss.

"Want to buy a lot of ciderwine?" Lu Xiang'er looked at Chaoxia, her face changed slightly, and she said softly: "Uncle Mu Sheng means that someone wants to buy the wine shop." ”

Chaoxia nodded to indicate that she knew, and then said in a low voice: "I don't know if this thing is true, or I'll go to the wine shop to have a look." ”

"It's okay, then trouble Sister Chaoxia to run." Lu Xiang'er understood what Chaoxia meant. If the purchase of the winery is fake, and it is true to find out that Lu Xianger is the real owner of the winery, then there must be people from the other party near the Lu family now. If Lu Xiang'er went to the wine shop so soon, maybe the other party would confirm the previous conjecture.

Chaoxia's thoughts were the same as Lu Xiang'er's, so she offered to go for Lu Xiang'er. Chaoxia's martial arts can be regarded as a master, and it is not difficult to go out of the Lu family without alarming others. I really don't know who can do this except her.

Before Lu Erniang came back from shopping for vegetables, Chaoxia had quietly left the Lu family. Lu Xiang'er was worried about Piaoxiang Distillery, and she had no intention of distilling the liquor, so she asked Zao'er to find something to do by herself. And Lu Xiang'er herself, with the intention of checking the accounts, hid in her room and waited for the return of Chaoxia.

For a whole afternoon, Chaoxia did not come back, and Lu Xiang'er did not come out of the room. After marinating the concocted meat, Lu Erniang realized Lu Xianger's abnormal behavior. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Erniang felt that Lu Xiang'er's behavior this day was a little strange.

When she went out in the morning, Lu Xianger was obviously very happy and excited, but when she came back, she seemed to be stimulated by something, and she was listless. After lunch, Brother Ping from the wine shop came to get the fruit wine and gave Lu Xiang'er another letter, and she looked surprised again. Could it be that her daughter didn't tell her anything, the more Lu Erniang thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Just as Lu Erniang came out of the kitchen and wanted to talk to Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia suddenly came back from outside. Looking at Chaoxia who was empty-handed, Lu Erniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Chaoxia, didn't you bring me anything back this time?" ”

"My aunt will laugh too." Lu Erniang's question immediately made Chaoxia's heart move. Thinking about Lu Erniang's tone in her heart, Chaoxia's expression and tone did not change and said: "Xiang'er is a little worried about Xiao Tao, I don't know how she is doing. So, I went to ask Yayu on behalf of Xiang'er to reassure her. ”

Hearing Xiao Tao, Lu Erniang also recalled her life in the Lu family in the past few years, and she also had some feelings in her heart, so she did not doubt Chaoxia's words. However, Lu Erniang also thought about how Xiao Tao was doing, so she asked Chaoxia: "Chaoxia, how is Xiao Tao doing now?" ”

The tooth said that one of Xiao Tao's relatives came here from Jiangnan and brought Xiao Tao back to his hometown in Jiangnan. Come to think of it, Xiao Tao's life should be good in the future. "Chaoxia I didn't rush to find Lu Xiang'er at all, but talked to Lu Erniang about 'Little Peach' in a slow voice as usual.

Lu Erniang also gradually eliminated the doubts in her heart because of Chaoxia's usual behavior. Instead, I feel like I've been thinking too much about myself because I've been going on too much lately. Therefore, after talking to Chaoxia for a while, Lu Erniang went back to the kitchen to cook with Zao'er.

Chaoxia waited for Lu Erniang to enter the kitchen, only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief, raised her legs and continued to walk towards the main room. However, in order not to arouse Lu Erniang's suspicions, Chaoxia's steps were as usual, and she slowly walked into the house. When Chaoxia came to the backyard, Lu Xiang'er jumped out from the side.

"Sister Chaoxia, you are still calm, my heart that was almost frightened by A-Niang just now jumped to my throat." Lu Xiang'er patted her heart and let out a long breath.

A quarter of an hour after Chaoxia returned, Lu Xiang'er heard the movement and came out of the room to ask her about the winery. When she just came to the front, she found that Lu Erniang was talking to Chaoxia. Of course, Lu Xiang'er couldn't just rush out like that, so she hid in the dark and listened, and her heart was also very high.

Although the two talked for almost half an hour, Lu Xiang'er was not in a hurry. Because from Lu Erniang's words, Lu Xiang'er also felt that she was also worried about Xiao Tao. Thinking of Xiao Tao's current life, Lu Xianger suddenly felt that Chaoxia might be right. Maybe that small mountain village is really the best ending for Xiao Tao.

With a small peach heart and a high temperament, even if she enters another big family, or is bought by someone with ulterior motives, she will not end well. And that Orion looked very stupid, but Lu Xiang'er could still notice that his caution and lack of discrimination in the face of Xiao Tao was not pretended. Xiao Tao followed him, maybe he could really live happily ever after. Therefore, when Chaoxia came to the backyard, Lu Xianger immediately jumped out. The smile on his face is as bright as ever.

When Chaoxia saw Lu Xiang'er like this, her heart was slightly relieved, and she said strangely: "You figured it out so quickly?" ”

"Of course, who am I, I'm a genius little lady Lu Xiang'er who can make fruit wine at the age of five." Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia looked at each other and smiled, and came to Lu Xiang'er's room side by side.

Closing the door, the expression on Chaoxia's face became much more serious when she turned around. When Lu Xiang'er saw her appearance, she understood that things were really not simple. Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er also cleaned up her mood, and poured a cup of tea for Chaoxia and asked her to speak slowly.

Chaoxia was really not idle this afternoon, so she drank half a cup of tea before frowning and said: "Someone wants to buy the Piaoxiang Wine Factory, and threatens that if it is not sold to him, he will make the Wine Shop unable to open in Qingshi County......"

It turned out that early in the morning, Piaoxiang Wine Shop welcomed several guests. Yuan Musheng heard that Brother Ping'er came to report, so he personally received these people. Except for a middle-aged man, the rest of these people are like the attendants of this middle-aged man. Moreover, after Yuan Musheng's observation, those attendants were extraordinary, and they all looked like martial arts masters.

As for the middle-aged man's ordinary appearance, judging from his gorgeous dress and proud tone, Yuan Musheng was sure that this person was not really a 'master', just a butler or something. Therefore, when he heard that the middle-aged man had bought the winery, Yuan Musheng tried his best to deal with it and wanted to get more information.

However, the middle-aged man was obviously also a shrewd person, and he quickly understood Yuan Musheng's intentions. He said very directly and forcefully: "I know that you are not the real owner of this winery, and I am not the real buyer. None of that matters, though. I'll just tell you, if you don't buy this winery, then don't want to gain a foothold in this Qingshi County. I will come back in three days, and I hope the owner of this winery is practical. ”

With these few words, the middle-aged man left with the attendants. Yuan Musheng thought about it, so he was ready to tell Lu Xiang'er. However, he was afraid that this was someone else's strategy, so he asked Tie Ge'er, another guy in the store, to go to the post station with a letter from home and send it to Yuan Craftsman.

After lunch, Yuan Musheng thought that the fruit wine in the winery was going to be bought, and asked Brother Ping to come to Lu's house to get some. And he went out by himself, and went around in Qingshi County a lot before going home for a while. When it was almost half an hour, Yuan Musheng returned to the winery again and met with the newly arrived Chaoxia.

"After listening to Uncle Mu, I walked around Qingshi County, but I didn't find a middle-aged man and a few attendants like he said." Chaoxia thought back on the experience of the next afternoon, and said very seriously: "However, I'm sure that there are really people in our neighborhood who are watching us. And it's not just a bunch of people. ”
